ARCHIE HARRINGTON.
One Of the Best Known and Nest
Successful Nevadans Visiting Wood

One Of the Best Known and Most
Successful Nevadans Visiting Wood
River.
Archie Harrington, of Reno, Ne
vada, has been in HALEY the past
three days. During that time he has
visited the Gold Belt and galena
mines at Broadford. In company with
James Black he examined every tun-
mel, drift, Wine and stope Of the
Minnie Moore, rightly considering
it one of the typical mines of this
region, and his impression of our out.
look is most favorable. As Mr.. Far
rington's object in visiting Wood
River at this time is merely for the
purpose of observation, We do not be-
lieve that he has taken hold of any
thing; but his visit cannot result in
anything but good to US, as he stands
head and shoulders, in many respects,
above the ordinary run of mining
men, and his opinion is highly priced
by all who know him.
Mr.. harrington is the best known
of three or four brothers who have
been prominently known and extep-
sively interested in Nevada for over
Is years. They were and doubtless
still are, the mainstay of Belleville
and Candelaria, in Esmeralda county,
New, where they at one time owned
several hundred head Of draft ami
mails, several fleets Of "prairie schoon-
ers," mines, mills, ranches, salt
marshes, etc. They are also the
heaviest owners IN the Reno Smelling
Works, a corporation that has caused
q revolution in base metal mining in
Nevada. Heretofore the owners of
base metal mines in Nevada were at
the mercy of the Eureka and Rich.

rose and Selby works, in California
and no "castom" ore worth less than
s75 per ton could pay expenses
But since the opening Of the Reno
works ores worth not to exceed $50
per ton pay profit, and not pound
goes past Reno in search of market
Mr.. harrington having thorough
knowledge of the cost of mining
transporting and reducing ores, be
would, if he could be induced to take
hold here, be an invaluable acquisl
ton to Wool River. He might, il
he would, transport ores on his owl
wagons from Wood River to Ke!tor
at cost of, say, $40 per ton; have
them hauled TO Reno for IS addi
tional; and there pay II cent more pc
ounce for silver. and one cent NOR,
per pound for lead, than we can ge
in any other market-and thus give
US figures for our ores that would b.
from $15 to $50 per ton in excess o
what we could get elsewhere.
1t is therefore to be hoped that MI
Harrington will find it to his interes
to take hold here.

SPATTERINGS.

The New Year looked in over our
mountains with such an suspicious
smiling visage that 1t makes hope
spring anew in each heart. The sky
was as blue as only our Idaho skies
can be. Indeed, l believe that Idaho
is entitled to pose as the ultramon-
tame Italy; for we're notes compared
it would be proved that we have more
clear, azure skies, than can be found
in any other Northern cline. The
gilded youth, aye, and the gilded age,
seemed to have imbibed the delicious
happiness of the weather (Thank
goodness! few imbibed anything else),
and eagerly sought the hospitable
h-strings to be found the first day
of each year. Next year being leap
year the gentlemen will have an op-
portunity to display their gallantry
when receiving their lady friends.

1t is said that a superstition con-
corning the New Year is as follows:
The first masculine caller brings good
luck, be he dark; bad luck, be he
fair. A kindly young matron took
her blonde baby boy to call upon her
friends, bright and early, thinking to
propitiate Blind Fortune. She may
be right. Who can tell whether it is
a golden or dusky head that pleases
this tickle goddess, as she steps in
upon the new.b born twelve months?

Many were thinking that we could
not have a real jolly Christmas, be-
cause there was no mistleroe to be
found on this rind of civilization
But such is not the case, for if we

tletoe, substitute Just as efficacious
was used, and the kissing was just as
luxurious as kissing before spectators
can ever be. If you don't believe it,
Just ask one of our "bonanza kings

will.

North Haven,
THOSE DISABILITIES ARE REMovRD-NEw
HAvENERs AND NORTH HAyENERs' UNION
PICNIC.
NORTH HAVEN, Aug. ea.-The building
committee of the fourth school district have
succeeded In removing all the disabilities
that have heretofore prevented the erection
of tile school building on the famous "horst
shed" site. The interested parties were sue
cessfully interviewed a few evenings since
and the transfer of property arranged to the
satisfaction of all concerned. The engineer
who was on the grounds last Saturday staked
the layout of the plans, and the removal OF
the sheds will follow in few days. 1t is the
design of the building committee to COM
mence their work at once, whether the town
assists or not, and have the building ready
for occupancy by January ], 1888.
There were 1856 present at the Congrega-
tional Sunday school yesterday.
The contribution to the fresh air fund as
noticed last week was 500 instead of $500.

ties of this church and the Humphrey street
church, of New Haven, on their picnic to
Pawson Park, which takes place on Friday
of this week The boat is to leave New
Haven at O'Clock q. m. Fare so cents for

The Lecture by DIR. McGlynn on Friday
Evening.

New York, Aug. 22.-rhe lecture of DR..
McGlynn before division No. 8, Ancient
Order of Hibernians, in Brooklyn Friday
evening for the benefit of the widows and
orphans Of that society is assuming impor-
lance from political and clerical point of
view The efforts of portion of the divis-
ion to prevent the doctor from being invited
to lecture were unsuccessful after causing
much comment. The latest phase of the
affair is that the eminent and venerable
priest Father Sylvester Malone will probably
be present at the lecture. Father Malone
has long been known as an ardent friend of
DR.. AcGlynn, but he has hitherto refrained
from openly endorsing the latter's position.
His brother, Edward Malone, NJ. D., will
introduce DR.. Mc(4lynn. He said to-day
when asked if he regarded this as consistent
with his standing as good Catholic: Ger
tainly do. In my estimation and that OF
my brother, Rev. Sylvester Malone, DR.. Nc
Glynn was unjustly communicated and as
good Catholics we must follow the dictates
of our conscience, which forbids us from
severing our connection with him" The
quarrel in the Hibernians over this matter is
attracting much attention in Brooklyn. The
friends Of DIR. McGlynn assert that his oppo-
nents are being instigated by Boss McLaugh-
lin because of DR.. McGlynn's influence in
the United Labor party.
The county board of the Ancient Order: Of
Hibernians met to night to consider the Nc
Glynn matter. After a stormy session it was
voted to revoke the charter of division No.
for inviting the doctor. Members of the
division say the lecture will take place, how
ever, and they will appeal from the action of
the county board. A large majority of the
division take this ground.

HENRYIvEs, RoaKA
Noah Davis q Referee to Conduct |
Examination.

Examination.
NEW YORK, Aug. 22.-Lawyer Algernor
S. Sullivan appeared in the court of common
pleas, special term. before Judge Bookstave,
to-day on behalf of his partner, William M
Cromwell, the assignee of Henry S. Ives &
Co., and asked that the court direct the
members of the firm of Ives & Co. to testify
regarding certain books of the firm now miss
ing which the assignee needs in making up
his statement of the assets and liabilities of
the firm. Judge Bookstaver agreed that the
books should be produced, but said he would
be unable to conduct the examination per.
sonally and would appoint referee. The
attorneys in the case have agreed upon the
appointment of ex Judge Noah Davis as
referee and an order to that effect will be
made by Judge Bookstaver to morrow morn
ing. Testimony before the referee will prob
ably begin tomorrow afternoon.
Il. I. Ives to-day made the following state
ment: ''The liabilities of Ives & Co. are
$40, 479, 723. The deposits are SO, 421 ,O91,
mostly due to the interested railroads. We
have already sold to the companies over &c.
QUO, 900 preferred stock and other securities
at the samh price as they were originally sold
TO us, SO nothing is lost on them. In the
assets are government bonds, bank stock,
etc., figured at par, but worth from twenty
to eighty per cent. premium We have ar
ranged to sell $50, 900, 600 of these and thus
reduce net liabilities to $4,000, 900, against
which we hold $4,000 shares c. h and D.
common stock 100000 shares Dayton
Ft. Wayne and Chicago, $4,000 shares Gin
einnati, Wabash and Michigan, and 1900
shares Mineral Range stock. The value of
the c. Fl. and D. stock will be restored by
the withdrawal of the preferred stock" Mr.
Ives said he figured and equity of S. ZOO, 900
for the firm. He will have to get the conrt's
consent to make such a sale as he refers to,
but if he can carry out his plans as outlined
he will come out of his trouble with flying
colors.

n1shes Food For the Voters.
PETERSBURG, Va, Aug. 22.-The Republic
| can State committee has issued long circu-
| lar to the voters in which it discusses the
| errors and inconsistencies of the platform
| issued by the Democratic convention at
Roanoke: Speaking of Democratic friendli-
ness for the agricultural interests the address
points out that Secretary Manning recon-
mended to the Forty-ninth Congress that
wheat, corn, oats, hay and other farm pro-
ducts be relieved of tariff duties and that tea
and coffee should be taxed as Injuries Mr..
Cleveland endorsed this and the Democratic
party endorsed Mr.. Cleveland "a friend
ship which would bring the agricultural pro-.
ducts of the world in competition with our
own in the home market" says the address,
''may prove costly to the farmer" Demo-
cratic assurances of friendship to the labor
ing man are timely, continues the address,
from a party whose administration has in
dicted and prosecuted operative labor while
it has brought convict labor into active COM
petition with honest industry in town and
country and whose membership is co-ordi-
nate of this State with the Law and Order
league instituted in opposition to labor Or
ganization. The remainder of the address
is devoted almost entirely to State issues.
Governor Lee is charged with attending a
theater with boon companions instead of at
tending public meeting called by him at
Richmond to protest against the payment of
taxes in coupons; with going off to Washing
ton to judge horse race after inviting British
bondholders to consultation over the State
debt, and with using appointments to Office
for the advancement OF his own selfish aims
"From the date of his Inauguration he has
fddled while Rome is burning and friyilous
1eEity is the chief characteristic of his term"
The Democrats are called on to explain an
increase of 81, SOC, 900 in the State debt, the ]
growing costs of State administration, the |
with adequate results of vari-
GUS public funds and the stufiing of ballot |
boxes and fraudulent counts in various parts |
of the State. In conclusion the address urges
the expulsion of the Democrats from Office as
'tths blessings of Democratic government
State and federals-upon the enjoyment of |
which the Roanoke convention congratulated /
the people have not been materially en-
joyed.
The address is signed by William Malone,

Posi- TRADER IN LUCK.
He Finds Himself Heir to Over q
Million.

Million.
BosToN, August 22.-Louis De Beck, the
"post trader" at the Charlestown navy yard,
has fallen heir to fortune of over one mill
lion dollars, being his portion of estate
valued at 81 100000 guilders left by his aunt
in Java, which is to be divided among seven
teen nephews and nieces. The story con-
nected with this sudden accession of wealth
is a romantic one. In about the year 1910
Marie Won Water was employed in the family
of La CASA, o merchant prince of Rotterdam,
who owned vast coffee plantations in Java
and who had established an enormous trade
between that port and Rotterdam. This
merchant had one son and he became enam-
ored of his fathers pretty servant and mar
ried her Soon after the father and the
young couple sailed for Java and spent the
rest of their lives on the plantations.
The father died in a few years and the
son succeeded to his vast estates
and managed the property SO shrewdly
that it increased largely in wealth. He died
in 1853 leaving but one child-a son-and
his widow. In 1869 the boy, too, died. The
heartbroken woman lost all interest in her
great wealth and left it to her overseers to
the age of ninety-four. The plantations were
in the Holland colony aud the government
took possession for the benefit of the heirs,
for whom active search was made. The
family on the husbands side was extinct and
it was not until 1887 that the rightful heirs
were discovered, most of them in Belgium.
They easily proved their relationship to the
owner of the Java plantations. The case was
presented to the Belgian government support
ported by all the necessary legal papers
and proofs. After Considerable official
correspondence between the Belgian
and Holland governments the latter signi6ed
its willingness to pay just sum for the
property with interest for the time it has
been in its hands. The Belgian government
sent Henry NJ. Stanley, the African explorer,
to appraise the property. He fixed the value
at 81, 200, 600 guilders, equal to about s23,
ESQ 900 of our money. The Holland govern
ment offered no ojection to paying that sum
and few months ago the necessary papers
transferring the property were aligned. Now
all that remains for the interested parties is to
afix their signatures to ths papers and receive
| their share Of the money. The principal
with the accrued interest will amount to
nearly 81, 000, 900 for each.

A British steamer I'm a Gale.

BALTIMORE, Aug. 22.-The British steam.
ship Propetious from Carthegena arrived at
this port this afternoon in badly battered
condition and without captain, that officer
having been lost. The chief officer reports
that on Saturday morning at o'clock sixty
miles off Cape Henry the Propetious encoun-
tered terrific gale which lasted until 8
o'clock in the afternoon. It swept every
thing before it. Some falling stanchions
knocked a hole in the deck through
which the water poured into the
hold. Finally large galvanized iron bucket
was torn from its fastenings aft and was
swept up to the hole into which it fitted as
snugly as though specially made for the pur-
pose. This alone prevented the water fron
filling and sinking the ship. Meantime Cap
tain Nichols was swept overheard and lost.
The planking of the deck is badly sprung.
The first officer was quite badly injured about

A Word About Catarrh.

1T is the mucous membrane, that wonderful
semi-fuid envelope surrounding the delicate tissues
of the air and food passages, that Catarrh makes
its stronghold. Once established, it eats into the
very vitals, and renders life but "a long-drawn
breath of misery and disease, duling the sense Of
hearing, trammeling the power of speech, destroy
ing the faculty of SMELL tainting the breath, and
by creeping from simple cold in the head, it as
saults the membranous lining and enVelops the
bones, eating through the delicate coats and
ing Inflammation, soughing and death. Nothing
short of total eradication will secure health to the
mated sufferings, leading to fatal termination.
Sanford's Radical Cure, by inhalation and by in
ternal administration, has never failed even when
the disease has made frightful inroads on delicate
constitutions, hearing, spell and taste have been
recovered and the disease thoroughly driven out D."
